I’ve done a lot of research lately. Call it the consequences of a lifelong nerd falling down a rabbit hole. Alice would be proud! An almost lifelong friend recently “deconstructed” from the Christian faith. I have a lifetime invested in this faith, part of which, I walked along side this friend…closely. So I wondered… What … Continue reading Two cents for the hurting and blubbering worship leaders

So turns the world…until it stops.
I stare at you in dim rooms lit by tv light drowning out the noise I almost wish for the noise to stop…almost…but maybe grappling with reality is lesser to ignorance. I’m a coward. I stare at light I drown in darkness And I pretend to know the difference Only grace. God save me from … Continue reading So turns the world…until it stops.
Alone
Alone is an underrated word Do we know what it means? Have we felt its sting to the fullest? Have we walked in the dark groping for candles or matches or a cell-phone glare? Have you lived if? I have Or maybe I haven’t In its depths, there is always a glimmer In its talons, … Continue reading Alone
On Reminiscing
Some nights revolve around the past… It’s not that it started out that way but it ends in reminiscence of days gone by and memories you treasure. Is it good or bad? I don’t know the answer. Enlighten me, people of Earth. When reminiscence leads to wonder about what could have been it can lead … Continue reading On Reminiscing
Hidden
Maybe there’s something poetic about hiding in plain sight. Or maybe it’s weakness. Or maybe it’s strength to stay composed while the world crumbles and stirs around you. Maybe it’s survival. Maybe it’s faith. Maybe I’m not hiding at all! maybe I’m standing. “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” Job 13:15
Hero

Can I be one who shows a glimmer of light in darkness? Am I beacon to someone holding on, trying to breathe when the air seems thin? Is … Continue reading Hero
A Note from Bionic Me

I started using a new computer program today that I've never used and had to force myself to stop messing with it, because I have other things to do and I can learn more later. I often think I can … Continue reading A Note from Bionic Me
Don’t Waste the Chains
I've been through a lot in my lifetime. I used to feel a little sorry for myself if I'm being honest. I can remember sad, pitiful, moments when I whined at God because "He must love everyone else more than me since life was so unfair", blah blah blah. I'm ashamed to admit that, but … Continue reading Don’t Waste the Chains
Crank up the Music
Have you ever read something and you just can't stop thinking about it? Saturday morning, I read a passage of Scripture, I've read probably one hundred times, but I never saw it. I've spent a lot of times studying the book of 2 Kings. I have a profound fascination with Elisha. I have even considered … Continue reading Crank up the Music

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" Philippians 4:6-7 Let's be honest. We know that suffering can ultimately lead to strength. Sometimes the … Continue reading Peace
